Nevada Green Party Sues Over Petition Deadline

The party had submitted its petition by the deadline, but was told after several weeks that it did not have enough valid. It then submitted another 1,200, but they wee not accepted since the deadline had passed.

The lawsuit is based on the fact that in 1992, when the deadline was June 10, a U.S. District Court enjoined it and said it was too early. That case was Fulani v Lau.
